Answer:
A. The interquartile range (IQR) for brand A, $10, is less than the IQR for brand B, $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most appropriate measure that can be used to compare the SPREAD of the data of the 2 brands plotted on a box plot, is the Interquartile range (IQR).
Interquartile range is the difference between Q3 and Q1.
Q3 is the value which lies at the end of the rectangular box, while the Q1 lies at the beginning of the box.
From the box plot given,
IQR for brand A = 80 - 70 = $10
IQR for brand B = 50 - 25 = $25
Therefore, the correct option is "A. The interquartile range (IQR) for brand A, $10, is less than the IQR for brand B, $25."
